A member asked:
With my slightly below normal ionized calcium and slightly elevated intact pth, is it beneficial to take 1 tablet of calciday once a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calcium: You should be taking in at least 1000 mg of calcium per day. Much of calcium is not absorbed. It may be important to determine whether you have a problem with calcium absorption. Vit D deficiency will do this. See your doctor about your Vit D level.
